I have quite the collection of pictures for this post. First, up, a new recipe I tried this week. This recipe really couldn’t be any easier, so I will let the captioned pictures tell the story. Spicy Beans ‘n’ Rice Recipe from Taste of Home I served the beans mixture over Steamfresh brown rice, with … Continue reading →

I haven’t been the best food blogger the last few days! I spent the first part of this week in Baltimore at a meeting. I took my camera but did not take any pictures! Luckily the internet is a lovely source for such things. While in Baltimore, I stayed at the Hyatt near the Inner … Continue reading →

Last evening we used yet another group coupon (a RealDeal) at Metzger’s. When I saw this deal in my inbox I jumped on the chance since Metzger’s is one of my favorite Ann Arbor eateries (even though sometimes people make fun of me for not eating the German cuisine at this German restaurant. ).

Thanks for sticking with me and my lack of posts the last few days! I’ve been out of commission for a couple days, but I am back. This weekend I redeemed a Groupon at Roos Rooast, a locally-owned Ann Arbor business selling mostly organic fair-trade artisan coffee they roast themselves.

So what else have I been … Continue reading →

Here are my ingredients: I blended the drained and rinsed beans with water to add to the broth in order … Continue reading →

I am absolutely in love with this bean and veggie burger recipe!! Another great find from my Comfort Food Diet Cookbook. With the huz out of town for work for a few days this week, I whipped up a big batch of these burgers for solo dinners and lunches. To begin, I mashed one can … Continue reading →

Beer! I’ve been on a beer-kick lately. After work on Friday evening, a beer sampler seemed like the perfect start to the weekend. I ordered a 7 beer sampler at Grizzly Peak. (The front ones are mine, and the back ones are the huz’s, just to clarify!). In my line-up, Grizzly Peak’s beers, brewed on-site: … Continue reading →

Howdy! It sure has been a gloomy week. But I heard rumors of 70+ degree weather this weekend. I can handle that! Yesterday I tried out a new (to me) café located just up the street from my office, in the modest village of Dixboro, called Moonwinks. The parking lot and inside were bustling, but … Continue reading →
